I arrive with little time to spare but am ready on time. Nocturaline and Phil have taken planet leave so I wait for Wolta who does not arrive. At 1805 I head out solo, disbanding the team on the way. And yes, 12 years ago on this day was my first day in EU, much has changed.

Cee’s two hours:- Ntina joins at 1810, I recreate the team, a little later I realise I’ve spelt Sleepyheads wrong so disband and create for a 3rd time. We soon settle into a pattern, it seems about 8 Cosmic Horrors is as much as I should collect at one time, by the time they are grouped and I am in the turret the ship has taken quite a lot of damage and I have to kill them quickly. I try to stick to just 7 but that is not always easy as the density is quite good. Skills seemed slow to gain but loot seemed quite good. Ark Royal is spotted Skilling, shortly after an explosion was heard, though she seemed intact. I take us back to Rocktropia Space Station where Ntina and I complete repairs. Ntina has done well tonight keeping the damage balanced.

Cee’s 21 minutes:- Ntina joins 1908. I am struggling to remain awake, after several recoveries I fall asleep having collected about 10 horrors and the ship blows. Looking at chat it seems only Wolta noticed anything and there were several YouTube links shared. I hand over to Nocturaline after just 21 minutes as I am not sure I can stay awake.
Kills: 0

Nocturaline’s hour:- While leaving Rocktropia Space Station we are followed by a hostile but it warps. Nocturaline received a little shrapnel from the first horror, we do not know how. Nocturaline reports that mob density was OK and a 1.08% gain in Captain skill.
Kills: 14 +20 +7

Cee’s hour:- Loot seemed to drop off and skills did not seem particularly good, distribution was OK but deteriorated. During my first visit to the guns I had to stand and then reposition the ship. At one point I had some serious lag while shooting, I managed 4 profession level gains and a hit point gain during the full session.
Kills: (10+18) + 14

Nocturaline’s hour:- Within a few minutes Nocturaline reports “big lag”. During the second session at the guns both Nocturaline and I had to assist in Engineering. Nocturaline reports a gain in Captain skill of 1.19%. Loot seemed to improve a little.
Kills: 16 + (18 + 8)

Cee’s hour:- Excellent Horror density, I’m sure that’s the first time I’ve ever said that. Loot seemed a bit low but skill gains were OK. Both repair points were very low during the second session at the guns.
Kills: 24 + 25

Nocturaline’s hour:- Nocturaline reports a gain of 1.14% in Captain skill and that mob density was OK. Loot was still on the low side.
Kills: 18 + 17
